Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 21 021. Magic Chanting
"It's very fast, Iwahashi-san."

Before entering, Yoshida Miwa commented like a gourmet entertainer who had to comment before eating.

"General." Iwahashi Shinichi said meaninglessly and modestly.

I thought to myself, when she comes in, don't be like a food artist who is tasting, and she has to express unnecessary feelings when she sees everything in the room.

...it's weird not to publish it.

Entering the door, Yoshida Mikazu looked curiously at his room, where he could see the entire room with just a blink of an eye in an eye exercise.

"Amazing, surprisingly clean and tidy."

"It's like being sarcastic when you say this." Iwahashi Shinichi said deliberately.

Yoshida Miwa smiled, "It doesn't matter, please don't be so stingy." After a while, "I just didn't expect that Iwahashi-san's life was so orderly. I thought that as a young man living alone, the room would be messier. ."

After that, she raised her wrist and showed the paper bag hanging on her wrist, "Anyway, it's your first time here, and I brought you chocolate shortbread."

"Thank you." Iwahashi Shinichi took it and put it on the counter.Turning his face to look, Yoshida Miwa looked at him like a small animal.

He pretended to be stupid on purpose, just didn't open the box of snacks.He opened the drawer, took a bag of bread, pointed to the file bags, letter paper, and tapes piled on the low table, chewing the bread and saying, "Everything is here."

Yoshida Miwa said "Oh" and tilted her head, "Got it."

After the production of the test tape was completed, the two put together some money and made dozens of copies, intending to send them to the record company as self-recommended business cards.

Today, Yoshida Miwa came here to bind these audition tapes with him.

This kind of work is inconvenient to do outside. Yoshida Mi and Fang Nancho’s apartment is shared with others, and it is even more inappropriate to disturb them. In the end, it is still his bachelor’s residence, and it doesn’t matter how he comes here.

"Iwahashi-san doesn't have a good girl, right?" At this time, Yoshida Mikazu, like a gourmet artist who made a summary after eating, expressed such an impression after watching it, "There are no girls in the room at all. breath."

"..."

Iwahashi Shinichi finished chewing the bread, "Let's start quickly."

"Hay~" Yoshida Miwa lengthened her tone and replied perfunctorily.

-

"Dry~"

"Good luck~"

“Bon voyage (happy trip)~”

Yoshida Miwa murmured while working, and it was just ordinary thoughts at first. After chanting and chanting, it was estimated that he had gained momentum. With these few words, he sang a jazz improvisation, and the one who turned it around was called a slip.

Iwahashi Shinichi listened for a long time before finally interrupting her by saying, "Yoshida-san, what are you doing?"

"I wish them a good future." Yoshida Miwa said of course.

Iwahashi Shinichi's forehead twitched, "...Okay." The co-author is the archmage singing magic, right?
In the world of the boss, mortals like him really don't understand.

Binding dozens of audition tapes, plus the letter of introduction enclosed in it, the workload is not too big but not too small, but it is mainly concentrated on writing the letter of introduction.

Self-promotion, if you don’t have to write a letter by hand, it will inevitably give the impression of lack of sincerity, and the handwriting should not be too scribbled. In this way, the two of them are like two crappy students writing exam papers, drawing one stroke after another. For fear of being deducted from the roll.

By noon, before it was done, Iwahashi Shinichi and Yoshida Miwa temporarily put aside their work and went to a nearby restaurant to eat something.

When my stomach is full, I feel lazy. After I came back, Yoshida Miwa said, "Take a break," and Iwahashi Shinichi agreed. Therefore, in this six-tiered room, the two of them took up each side, as if there was an invisible three-eighth line. across the middle.

There was a thick stack of magazines and books in the corner, and Yoshida Miwa asked him, "Can you take a look?"

"Just look at it."

Yoshida Mikazu flipped through it with great interest. It was full of music information magazines and music history books. Most of the magazines were from the past, and some were even a year or two ago.

She asked, "So many old magazines?"

"I bought it cheaply at a second-hand bookstore." Iwahashi Shinichi replied.

To quickly understand the current market, reading magazines is a good way, because magazines have a characteristic - "summary", reading past magazines, you can systematically understand the changes in market music trends through the content inside.

And not to mention the history of music. If you want to live in the music scene of this country, how can you do without knowing the history of their music scene.

When it comes to the ecology of the RB music scene, basically, in the beginning, everyone performed their own duties.

Record labels and songwriters sign contracts to allow them to act as company-exclusive writers.This point is similar to the studio era of RB films. The film company also cultivates directors, screenwriters and actors by itself. If it does not start from the bottom of the studio, it will have no place in the film industry.

However, this studio system eventually collapsed, and the record company's set did not last in the industry.

Around 1955, RB's economic white paper announced that the country had lifted itself out of poverty, and various European and American singers began to visit Japan one after another since the 50s, and European and American music became popular. (As for ZZ's influence on the music scene, for the sake of harmony, I won't mention it here)

After the Beatles' visit to Japan, young people picked up guitars and other instruments to form bands one after another, and the GroupSounds rock music trend emerged, the representatives of which were The Spiders and Kenji Sawada's The Tigers.

Sakai Masaki, a member of The Spiders, played Monkey King in 1978's "Journey to the West". After this TV series in which the Sanzang master turned into a girl was spread to China, it contributed to the birth of the 86 version of Journey to the West.Two flowers, two flowers.

GroupSounds comes and goes quickly. After the disbandment of representative bands, the tide gradually ebbs. But there is no doubt that the elements brought by this trend have greatly enriched the music scene of RB.

In the process of continuous import of European and American music into RB, young people were influenced by European and American singers to sing and sing, and the number of singer-songwriters also increased significantly, which laid the foundation for the birth and development of new music later.

In addition, just like the disintegration of the studio system, which made the film more diversified, the rules of the record companies in the past were broken during the impact, which made pop music more colorful. .

The development of new music and the birth of idols were carried out almost at the same time. In 1971, a file called "STAR!In the variety show "Birth", three original idols, Yamaguchi Baihui, Sakurada Junko, and Mori Masako, were born.

Since then, over the past ten years, the profession of idol has never been outdated.

In the past few years, the sales of records have been sluggish, and only the sales of idols can be regarded as strong.

"Haha!" Yoshida Miwa, who was flipping through the magazine, suddenly laughed, interrupting Iwahashi Shinichi's train of thought.

"Have you seen something good?" Iwahashi Shinichi asked her.

"It says above," Yoshida Miwa stared at the magazine's inner page, smiling while reading, "When a typhoon hits, every time a billboard falls down in Ginza, one of the ten girls hit is an idol."
